Rumours abound that Tesla has started limited production of the Semi Truck.

And It looks like Pepsi is preparing to receive the first batch of 15 as they're putting in a Megacharger station at one of their depots.

1.5MW of charging power. Holy smokes! Would love to see the cables for that lot.

That's a very impressive milestone. Just a bummer that it's a major single use plastic polluter involved.

It's not just the plastic, the product is rubbish too... I have seen a supermarket copy (or the syrup for diluting to make it) being made: a bucket or two of sweet syrup / sugary tar imported from the US (of course,) plus small amounts of loads of blue and black synthetic colours, I guess there must have been some sugar or other syrup (unless it was to be added at the bottling stage) but the shocker for me was the 2 buckets of neat phosphoric acid which completed the mix!
Greenwashing? Definitely.

There are 450kW chargers that work at 400, 600, or 800V battery architectures. So we are already in the world of 1000A. I wonder what the battery voltage is on those Tesla Semis?
